Methodology for determining the mean and extreme sea level regimes (astronomical and meteorological tides) considering scarce records in microtidal zones: colombian Caribbean case

Synthetic sea level (SL) records of the Cartagena Bay and the Urabá Gulf, from 1991 to 2010, were obtained through this methodology.
